A WORD ABOUT HOGS.
IF Given . Chance, They Arc o. Clean -
Other Animals.

The hog can probably endure as
much hardship Is any of our domes-
Heated animals; but is this any reason
why it should receive abuse. or be sub
iected to hardship in any formP We
think not. No one Of our animals
more promptly responds to kind treat
ment and clean surroundings than the
hog. 1t is popularity considered filthy.
This arises from the fact that the hog
is usually confined to filthy quarters.
Is this the fault of tho hog or of tho
ownerp Why r its quarters filthyp
They were clean when the hog was
first put into them. Was 1t the nat
ural filthiness of the hog above other
animals that made his quarters filthy,
OF was 1t owing to the narrow limits
in which it was confincdp What could
1t do in such qarters but make them,
fifthyp True. the hog likes to roll in
tho miro in hot weather; SO
does tho COW like to stand
In tho running stream, pond
or mire in hot weather. Tho
hog will take to clean water II 1t can
get 1t. Both do this for tho same rea.
son-bccause Of the grateful GOODNESS
OF tho moisture and the fact that the
portions Of tho animal organism under
water are free from the annoyance Of
flies. This hog, like the bovine, also
likes to lilo in tho cool shade. Give
both a fair chance to keep clean, and
they will do so. Confine them in too
narrow limits, and they will get filthy.
Give equal chances. and there IL not
much difference between the two. But
the custom Is to crowd the hog into
narrow quarters and compel it to re-.
main there. Lacking human reason.
1t may not do tho best thing possible
to keep clean In its confined home; but
In this respect 1t will not display much
more lack Of reason and hog sense
than Its owner in not providing more ,
ample room and bottor nat.
ara facilities for keeping clean.
Give the hog q clean bed, with free
locomotion. and it will keep 1t clean.
Give 1t . wild field Of clover to roam
and root In. and 1t will keep itself
clean, healthy and thrifty. Both the
hog and the owner will be benefited

It's U~nthinkabl0 Vsstness Too Overwheln'
Ing fur Comprehension.
1t Is certainly true that n contcm.
plation of the u~nthinkable vastness Of
the universe. in the midst Of which we
dwell upon q speck illuminated by q
spark. is calculated to make all
terrestrial affairs appear contcmptihy
insignificant. We can not wonder
that mon for ages regarded the earth
as the center, and tho heavens with
their lights rs tributary to 1t, for to
have thought otherwise, in those
times. would have been to SEQ things
from the point Of a superior
intelligence. It has taken
vast amount Of experience and
know edgo to convince men Of the par
vitude Of themselves and their belong
ings. So. in all ages they have ar'
piled Q terrestrial MEASURE to the n
verse. and imagined they could behold
human affairs reflected In tho heavens
and human interests setting tho gods
tOketncr ny the ears.
This Is clearly shown in the story Of
the consultations. The tremendous
truth that on o starry night we look.
In every direction. into an almost end.
less vista Of suns beyond suns and
systems upon systems, was to, over
whelming for comprehension by the
inventors Of the considerations. So
they amused themselves. like imagin-
alive children, rs they were, by
tracing the outlines Of mon and beasts
formed by those pretty lights. the
stars. They turned the starry heav'
ems into a scroll filled with picture
stories Of mythology. Four Of tho
consultations arc particularly inter-
esting OF this account. They preserve
In the stars, more lasting than parch.

most pleasing Of al the romantic
stories that have amused and inspired

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
Historical Fart, Athered by Mr.. Richard
j. Monks, of Boston,.

artificial light was very large an
worthy of a series of lectures. as
ought to be covered. He referred t
the worship of the Orbs by tn
a%ucients. Tho lncas claimed to b
children of the sun. Light of som
sort was associated with those who cx
pocted some return from their duty
The practice of fires in open space
was common in ancient times. A
civilization advanced lamp laws wer,

centuries bonfires were common will
the Celtic natives in Europe. especially
at festival times. Beacon fires were
often used as signals. Their use i,
mentioned in the Greek tragedy OF
"Agamemnon." In Spain taxes were
levied to sustain beacons at the time
Of the Armada, In the Book Of Lrre-
miah, in the Bible, there is an allusion
TO the fire signal. There was a mast
and tar barrel on Beacon Hill. 1t WIS

1889.
The use of whale oil originated with
the Norwcgians. In 1880 the Dutch
had 260 vessels, employing IA. 900 men.
i'll the business. In New England the
whales were first caught from small
boats. The Indians engaged with
avidity in the hunt for whales. In
1858 there were 900 vessels of 200, 900
tons burden engaged in the American
whale fishery. The argand lamp was
first used in 1900. The decline in
whale fishery was due to the discovery
of oilin PENNSYLVANIA.
Candles were spoken of first in a
remote period, Their use really began
in the early history of Christianity.
A. late as The sixteenth century their
use was limited. In spite of modern
methods the candlu is used for certain
purposes, and the soft light can not
fail to please the eye. The honor and
merit Of the first application of coal
gas seems to belong to William MUIR
dock, of Redworth, Cornwall. In 1902
he lighted IN extensive manufacturing
establishment. France also claimed
the honor Of lis first demonstration,
but not satisfactorily. January 20,
1907, saw 4 number of London streets

for the incorporation of a company.
Two companies supply London at 20
cents Per 1000 cubic feet, and their
is 500, 900. 900. Coal gas was
used in Baltimore in 1916, and for
time its progress was slow and
unsatisfactory. Now there are over
200 works in the United States, fur

Oerrespondence Between q. b. Wright

Now York Special: It is now stated semi
officially to-day that Mr.. Cakes, who is a

President Harris as soon as the Cascade
branch is completed. This was intimated
in the Pioneer Press two days ago, but to
ell appearances it looks az il it were one OF
the concessions" made to Mr.. Willard.
Again Mr.. Willard out this evening
and denies that he has an agreement with
the German capitalists which would pre-.
vent him from taking the presidency of any
road. From an Independent standpoint it
looks as though the Wright party, while
confident OF controlling the road, realize
that they have a stronger nan to fight now
than Elijah Smith, and they are not SO full
Of fight. There is much curiosity to know
how the vote stood, but the result will not
b known until tomorrow. There wers
many notable men at the election. Presi.
lent Harris, who is q tall. square. gray
whiskered man, and looks like q typical
